Football Pickup Thread

I'm new here and this thread will wind up being a favorite of mine here. Great items! It's awesome to see others with the same excitement for their sets as I have for mine. And the cards shown are awesome! I'll probably be more of an observer here since I don't have much purchasing power right now, but I do have a couple cards in the mail that I am pretty excited about getting and I will post them here when they get in.

Always wanted one of these and finally broke down and purchased one. Hard to find these well-centered. Did the best I could for my price range. Some great finds by everyone. Keep posting.

Nice Brown RC. I have a feeling it will be the last card I need in my own 58 set.

[jb67]

How far along are you in completing the 58 set?

[Footballdude]

I'm still quite a ways away. Not counting upgrades, I'm at 56% complete. Still too far away for me to post a wantlist. With my luck, someone will have every card I need....and I won't have any money.

Well, working on an extreme budget every card I get that fills an empty hole is precious to me. these are the newest additions to my collection.



A couple weeks ago I was 12 cards away from finishing my 1970 set. Since then I acquired 8 from one person in a Facebook group, then I found this Ben Davidson on ebay, leaving me just 3 cards shy. Woohoo!



48 Bowmans I am pretty light on, so any I can pick up is a good day. Also, being a RAMS fan, getting the Waterfield RC is pretty sweet for me. This one actually presents itself better in person than scanned. That's OK though. This is a set I have to make some concessions on.

Nice pickups! I have a bunch of doubles of the '48 Bowman and '70 Topps set that are lower grade so if you PM me with a list I can probably help.

P.S. You don't need to apologize for the grade of cards you collect! I love hearing that people are still building sets one card at a time, in raw form, and just looking for an example to fill a hole. THAT's the way this hobby started and I still love it!
